Qinzi put her arms around Ouyang Jun's shoulders and tried to climb up with a smile, but Ouyang Jun held her head and pushed her back to her original position.

"I don't think the Saint will believe my empty words." Qinzi took out a scroll. The seal and demonic energy on it fully demonstrated that this was something that had been preserved by a monster for a long time and was not something that humans could fabricate in a short time.

"This is the family tree kept by the fox demon family. Every family member leaves their own unique mark on it after birth. Even after a thousand years, it will not change at all. Your Majesty can rest assured."

[Qianxue, born in the eighth year of Tenpo, XXX, cultivated into a human form in the third year of Taisho, orange hair and green eyes...]

[Miyuki, born in the second year of Tenpo, XXX, cultivated into a human form in the ninth year of Taisho, green hair and brown eyes...]

Kikyo opened the scroll. The pictures on this ancient scroll were too freehand, so Kikyo didn't think they had any reference value. Her eyes skipped over the very abstract pictures and came to the sentences describing the appearance of the two monsters. She also found the photos of the two fox sisters from the product pictures of the monster trafficking organization sent back by the spy stationed in the west in her memory and compared them with the details.

"Is that so..." Kikyo finished reading the scroll, put it down and looked at Kotoko, "But, all the fox spirits in the island countries have straight ears. This can't even be called knowledge, but common sense, Ms. Iwanaga."

Snapped!

Qinzi snapped her fingers and made an expression that said, "Girl, you are so smart."

"That's right. Now, all the fox demons in the island nations have straight ears. There's only one place in the world where fox demons have drooping ears. That's the Tushan that the Saint believes in, the organization that they talk about. But..." Kotoko paused, "Okinawa is an exception."

"Due to its location, many monsters from the mainland migrated there due to human warfare and intermingled with the local monsters. This has been going on for years, making the monsters in Okinawa somewhat different from those on the mainland and island nations. However, no matter how different they are, there's no reason why the ears are so different."

"Although Saint Master has not received a complete education system in the surface world, I believe you are also aware of a phenomenon called atavism, right?"

"Atavism? I know." Although Kikyo didn't know what Kotoko meant by atavism, she couldn't just shake her head and deny it now that things had come to this.

"Humans treat newborns as if they were born due to genetic mutations or other reasons, resulting in their appearance resembling ancient ape ancestors. Most of the time, this manifests itself in the growth of hair. For these two fox demons, the manifestation of this atavism is the folded ears that resemble their ancestors who migrated from Tushan on the mainland."

Having finished speaking all the prepared lines, Kotoko looked at the thoughtful Kikyo with a smile.

Kotoko said so many things, but to sum up, there are only a few points. First, Honghong and Rongrong are native monsters from the island country. Their so-called identity as mainland monsters is just a gimmick used by the monster trafficking organization to increase their prices. Second, the two sisters are from Okinawa, a very small monster family, and because their ancestors have the blood of Tushan, their ears are drooping and folded.

Most of the above information is true. It is more reasonable and difficult to detect than making up a completely false identity out of thin air and letting Rongrong replace an existing identity. The two fox spirits from Okinawa that Kotoko mentioned are two monsters who ran away from home and came to Tokyo. Unfortunately, they are both dead, and the one who handled their affairs was Kotoko, the goddess of wisdom.

The news of the two fox demons' death was not spread out. Only Kotoko knew about it. The fox demons' family, who were far away in Okinawa, could not go to Tokyo to look for the two runaway children. This gave Kotoko an excellent fake identity, allowing Rongrong to become another fox demon in this world.

"I understand what Miss Iwanaga said, but these matters are not something I can decide on my own. I will inform the other shrines about what happened tonight." Kikyo said after a long silence. Kotoko's explanation was indeed quite reasonable, but she could not unilaterally listen to Kotoko's words. Kikyo needed to investigate.

Kikyo's investigation, which has not yet begun, is destined to get an inconclusive result. She is in the east and cannot conduct an investigation in Okinawa, which is located in the west of the island country. The most she can do is to contact the Hakurei Shrine and ask them to investigate on her behalf. As for the investigation request from the east, the people in the west will definitely yawn and perfunctorily deal with it. They will not conduct an in-depth investigation. At most, they will look at the information and ask whether there really are such two monsters.

"Don't worry, Master Ou. If we can prove that those two monsters are truly native to the island nation, we can deliver the proof to your residence within three days. Until then, please wait."

"As soon as possible."

Suddenly, what would have taken about twenty years was reduced to a few days. Ouyang Xuan could accept this result. After all, considering the Japanese people's enthusiasm for meetings, reaching a consensus in just a few days was indeed a remarkable achievement. Ouyang Xuan could not ask for anything more from these people.

"Then I'm done. I'm leaving now."

Ouyang Xuan picked up his teacup and wanted to drink it and leave, but after picking it up, he found that his tea had been drunk up by Qinzi.

"Here, drink my cup. I just took a sip."

Like showing her courtesy, Qinzi held her teacup in both hands and handed it to Ouyang Xuan, with a smiling face that seemed to be expecting something. On the side of her cup facing Ouyang Xuan, there were slightly moist traces of water from her lips.

Taking the cup of water handed to him by Qinzi, Ouyang Jun turned the cup to the other side, then picked up the teacup and drank it all. At this time, he just wanted to leave and was not interested in tea etiquette or the rules of sipping the tea slowly.

"Cut~~"

Seeing that Ouyang Xuan did not kiss her indirectly as she expected, Qinzi pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, wait a minute, I just did you such a big favor, can't you just pick me up before you leave?"

"Can't you stand up?"

"I'm disabled." Qinzi tapped her left leg, making a dull metallic sound. "After receiving Ouyang's request, I ran here as fast as I could. Now I have no strength left in my legs."

"Ouyang, you don't want to see the person who helped you crawling out from here little by little because he has no strength to walk." Qinzi said coquettishly.

-

"Owner."

As soon as Ouyang Falcon walked out the door, 2B put away her weapon.

"Brother Taoist--." Rongrong looked up and was about to call for help when she met Qinzi's extremely resentful eyes, which almost scared the little fox demon to tears.

"You and her go back to the apartment later. Iwanaga and I still have some things to take care of. If we can't go back tonight, you and Haruno should go to bed first."

"I'll let Yang No go to bed first." 2B meant that she would wait for Ouyang Xuan.

However, it is likely that Yang Nai will also wait for Ouyang Xuan, after all, he has not paid his public grain tax today.

"Hey~~" Qinzi's resentful voice came from Ouyang Xuan's armpit.

"Ouyang, you bastard!"

Tucked under Ouyang Sun's armpit like a rolled-up newspaper, Qinzi changed in silence... and then exploded in silence.

This is different from what I expected! What about a princess carry?! At least they should hold her by her legs, right?!

Why! Why is it like this!?

As the God of Wisdom, Kotoko's skill points are of course almost all focused on wisdom. Due to her lack of physical strength and power, she struggled frantically under Ouyang Falcon's armpits for a long time, but it was useless except that she was exhausted. She watched Ouyang Falcon talking to 2B breathlessly.

"hateful!"

Kotoko remembered that she had a unique long-range weapon on her. She touched her face for a while, and then a white eyeball appeared in her hand. Kotoko shouted and threw the eyeball at Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Xuan didn't even dodge, and directly caught Kotoko's eyeball with his face.

The eyeball hit Ouyang Xuan's face and bounced off to the ground, then rolled and rolled until it rolled to Rongrong's feet. Rongrong lowered her head and first looked at the eyeball. The pupil of this eyeball that had separated from the body was still moving. After turning around, it met Rongrong's gaze. For a moment, Rongrong felt her blood run cold.

Subconsciously, she wanted to look up and seek Ouyang Xuan's help, but unexpectedly, when Rongrong looked up, she met Qinzi, who turned her head with an unhappy look and stared at Rongrong with empty eyes.

"what!!!"

Rongrong let out a loud scream.

Chapter 4: Exorcism Doll

"It's unbelievable, it's really unbelievable!"

Even though they were already sitting in the taxi, Qinzi was still angry and kept complaining about Ouyang Xuan, but her body was getting closer and closer to Ouyang Xuan.

"Come on, is there anyone like you? I was sitting on the ground looking pitiful, holding out my hands for you to hug me. Shouldn't you have picked me up like a princess? You actually picked me up and held me under your arms like a newspaper. That's too much!"

"Hmmmm~~~"

"I've been sulking here for a long time!" Qinzi complained. "Why don't you try to comfort me? I'm not a difficult girl. If you try to comfort me, I'll forgive you right away."

"Yang No said that if a girl is angry, you should never say anything. You can only speak after she has calmed down and is no longer angry."

"That Yukinoshita guy!" Kotoko said, "She has Ouyang all to herself, and she even forbids him from flirting with other girls. Damn it! Is she trying to tell me that she will never be angry with Ouyang?"

"I won't let her succeed! I won't be angry with Ouyang either."

Smart people tend to think too much. Yang Nai actually just felt that with Ouyang Xuan's straightforwardness and his extremely poor use of honorifics in the Japanese language, if he tried to coax her, she would probably start crying so hard that she would fall directly into Tokyo Bay after being coaxed by him. It would be better not to say anything and wait until she finished crying.

"Iwanaga, you seem to be very hostile to Yang Noi. Did something happen between you two?" Ouyang Jun asked.

"My hostility towards Yukinoshita is quite strong. We are very hostile rivals in love, and--" Kotoko's incessant voice suddenly stopped, and she twisted her neck in front of Ouyang Jun, put her hands on Ouyang Jun's knees, and put her face in front of Ouyang Jun.

"Ouyang, why did you call Yukinoshita just now?" Kotoko asked in a kind tone.

"Yang No."

"Ha!?" Qinzi looked at Ouyang Shun in disbelief, the jealousy and dissatisfaction in her eyes quickly surged, and finally turned into puffed cheeks.

"Then why do you call me Iwanaga?"

"Because your name is Iwanaga." Ouyang Jun said as a matter of course. Iwanaga Kotoko, isn't that Iwanaga?

"Name! My name!"

"Your name? Kotoko?"

"That's right, from now on, when Ouyang calls me, he has to call me Kotoko! You are not allowed to call me Iwanaga anymore!" Kotoko emphasized.

I was just on a business trip for a few months to deal with some monster stuff in Hokkaido, but why is Yukinoshita starting to be called by her name? Am I being left far behind by her in an instant?

"Why? In island countries, calling each other names is a very intimate act like between lovers, isn't it?"

"Ouyang and I are now more than friends but less than lovers, so it's totally fine to just call him by his name." Kotoko openly admitted her feelings for Ouyang Falcon. "I've been working hard for a long time to win over Ouyang. Even though Yukinoshita has already won first place, I have to take second place at all costs."

"Ouyang may not be in love with me yet, but he definitely has a good impression of me." Qinzi took Ouyang Falcon's arm and said with a smile, "Look, Ouyang doesn't dislike my behavior at all. It's obvious that he has a good impression of me. If Ouyang were a little more aggressive, you could smash my melon tonight."

"Where are the original owners of those two identities?" Ouyang Jun changed the subject, not intending to continue what Qinzi said.

"Dead." Speaking of this topic, Kotoko's voice also revealed a bit of loneliness. "In the information given to the Saint, there is a fact that even the fox demons themselves don't know. Because they have been too deeply entangled with the local spiritual veins in Okinawa for nearly a thousand years, their bodies can no longer adapt to the spiritual energy and spiritual veins of other places. Those two demons died half a month after arriving in Tokyo because they could not obtain spiritual energy."

No matter how jumpy she was, Qinzi calmed down at this time and leaned quietly on Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Xuan did not push Qinzi away. The two of them leaned against each other like this, and as the car moved under them, they finally stopped under an apartment building.

"Princess, we're here." The hippopotamus monster driving the car turned around and said to Kotoko in the back seat.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qinzi adjusted her attitude, pushed open the car door, and extended her hand to Ouyang Falcon inside. "From now on, I will be relying on you, Mr. Taoist. I am a weak and powerless little woman. I rely entirely on you to protect me."

The two got off the car in front of an apartment building. It was not a very luxurious apartment. It looked similar to the one Ouyang Xuan lived in now, but there were more ghosts. Just by standing at the door, Ouyang Xuan could feel that there were at least three or four ghosts living inside.

But they are just some ordinary earth spirits. For some reason, they did not leave this apartment. They lost their memories and just stayed here in a daze. When the apartment is demolished one day, they will disappear from this world because they have lost their place to stay.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Ouyang Xuan asked. Although there were a few ghosts here, they were not evil spirits.

"Three days ago, a ground spirit from this apartment came to me. He said he heard a 'dong dong dong' sound coming from upstairs every night. He didn't know what it was, but just hearing it made his soul tremble slightly. He didn't know what it was, so he came to me for help."

"Actually, I was planning to come back tomorrow during the day." Qinzi said helplessly, "But Ouyang, you have to attend a banquet tomorrow during the day, so I have no choice but to come at night."

"Wouldn't it be okay the day after tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid it won't work the day after tomorrow. That ghost looks like he's about to be frightened to death." Qinzi said, "I'm afraid if I wait until the day after tomorrow to come again, he'll scare himself to death."

Qinzi pointed her cane to the side, and Ouyang Jun looked in the direction she was looking, only to see a lantern monster, a goldfish spirit, and a ghost playing cards hiding in the bushes.

"Princess! Please!"

"Don't worry, with this Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain here, even a thousand-year-old demon king can be beaten into pieces in minutes." Qinzi proudly introduced Ouyang Falcon beside her.

"A Taoist priest from Mount Longhu!?"

"The Continental Killer who stuffed a shotgun into a boar monster's mouth and then shot him to pieces!!!???"

"Princess... We have things to do, so I'll leave this to you!"

They were happily greeting Kotoko the previous second, but after hearing Kotoko's introduction, their faces suddenly changed. The three monster ghosts turned around and ran away, and did not forget to say goodbye to Kotoko while running away.

"Hey, Ouyang has really made a name for himself in the Tokyo monster community. Monsters run away when they hear your name."

Kotoko covered her forehead with her hands, looking at the ghosts of several monsters running away, and then saw a ghost bump into the range of his earth-binding spirit, and then was pulled by the other two monsters to hide in the river below the apartment.

If Qinzi hadn't taken the initiative to introduce him, the monsters wouldn't have known who Ouyang Xuan was when they approached. His natural and restrained magical powers made Ouyang Xuan look like an ordinary person, and he didn't have any evil spirits on him from killing too many monsters and ghosts.

No one remembers how many slices of bread they have eaten, and no matter how much they eat, they will not be contaminated by the evil spirit of bread.

Because it was night, there was no one in the apartment. The manager was sleeping on the chair with his head tilted back. He didn't react when Ouyang Jun and Qinzi walked over and got into the elevator.

"Still no feeling?" Kotoko asked after reaching the corresponding floor.

"Have."

"Ouyang hasn't even entered a combat-ready state, so it looks like it will be easy."

"No, it's just unnecessary. I can sense some magical powers to exorcise evil spirits, but I don't sense any demonic energy or demonic power."

In front of the door, Qinzi took out the key and said, "I have done some preliminary research. This key was given to me by the administrator. When he saw me saying that I could solve this problem, he was as happy as if he had found money."

"For ordinary people, although the threat isn't great, it still has a significant impact. Just imagine, if there are rumors of a haunted apartment, how can you rent it out?"

Ouyang Jun and Qinzi walked through the entrance and came to the living room. The culprit who caused the problem had already appeared here.

A sumo wrestler with a broad body and four muscular arms was very scary, as if he could knock anyone to the ground with just one punch, breaking all the bones. On his fleshy forehead, there was a horn like a sharp knife.

Kotoko was still a human being, and Ouyang Falcon didn't have any demonic aura, so the sumo wrestler ignored them and just kept spinning around in the large living room. From time to time, he would lift his feet and chop the floor hard, making a dull thumping sound. The sound that the ghost heard came from here.

"It's a puppet, no wonder it's left to you to deal with."

"There's nothing we can do. After all, this puppet was created to exorcise evil spirits and slay demons. It's not a big threat to humans. Those people in the east don't bother to care. Anyway, even if a monster with a certificate is killed by this puppet, it's fine."

"But as the God of Wisdom, I can't just stand by and watch the ghost get beaten to death by this puppet. Even though it hasn't had any real impact yet, leaving it in this apartment will definitely pose a huge threat to the ghosts that inhabit it."

"So, help me! Taoist brother!"

Qinzi clasped her hands together, tilted her head and begged Ouyang Shun.

After looking at Qinzi silently, Ouyang Jun turned his head away, too lazy to look at Qinzi who was deliberately acting cute.

There was no one living in this room, so Ouyang Xuan was too lazy to take off his shoes when he entered. Although Qinzi wanted to take off his shoes, she saw that Ouyang Xuan had not taken off his shoes and walked straight in without waiting for her. She had just sat down and was about to take off her shoes, but he immediately got up and followed Ouyang Xuan.

The sound of the shod feet stepping on the wooden floor was not loud, but it was still particularly eye-catching in the empty room at night. The sumo wrestler who was wandering around the room blindly heard the sound, turned his head suddenly, and squeezed his facial features together, as if ready to fight. However, after seeing the complete human aura on Ouyang Xuan, he turned his head away and continued wandering around the room.
